I honestly don’t know what to think aboutFUEL. Sure, it’s coming from Codemasters, and as far as I can tell the game looks to be ridiculous inthe best possible way, but I have been fooled so many times before by all-too-convincing trailers. Today’s video finally hones in on some of the event types present inFUEL, many of which are the standard “go through checkpoints,” or “race against the clock.” But there are a few interesting ones, like “Seek and Destroy,” which pits you against designated driversBurnout-style, and “Chopper Chase,” where you attempt to keep up with a helicopter, for some bizarre reason....

I Play Winnerspotted alisting on GameStopshowing the potential price and release date forSuper Street Fighter IV. It looks like we can expect the game to come out on June 14, 2025 for the low price of $39.99. $39.99 was about what I was expectingSuper Street Fighter IVto go for. It’s not a bad price point if you ask me. You’re getting everything fromStreet Fighter IVplus a ton ofnew stuff and fixes....

A world of previously unseen, weirdly physics-based nightmares now await Mac owners. That’s right, the one and onlyGarry’s Modsupports Steam for Mac. As an added bonus, if you own the PC version, you won’t have to pay a second time. And if you’re totally new to the, uh, “game,” it’s temporarily down to $4.99. If nothing else, writing aboutGarry’s Modhas always been entertaining. The images that often turn up in mandatory searches — hey, got to have a picture with your story — range from juvenile to disturbing to hardcore (as in the bad,cannot be unseenkind)....

For us here at Destructoid, day four of gamescom is our last official day on the show floor as I have decided to reward my boys with some rest. Lucky sods. Today Ian Roberts and I attacked gamescom so the daily wrap up is missing its rather large dose of indie loveliness, known as Daniel Carneiro. I keep the wrap up sort and sweet, since the burning German sun if affecting my pale British skin....

I just got back from a short private briefing with Epic’s Mark Rein detailing the ins and outs of Unreal Engine 3. I’ll let you know some of the huge points that were hit on: • Epic is working on something where they will be able to have support for mods on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. • The Unreal Engine 3 is not as expensive as what is being said....

News flash: Terminal Reality is currently polishing aGhostbustersvideogame adaptation for the PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. If you find your mouth agape, congratulations! That means at some point during the last eight months you went outside among the dangers of the digital-less world. Flowers and birds are sweet, aren’t they? Be weary of cars (those shiny, loud things that move fast) as they aren’t prone to not stopping if you don’t follow those pretty white lines called a “crosswalk....

You know it, I know it —Grand Theft Autois big. Not just a huge videogame in its own right, it can be argued that Rockstar’s flagship franchise is very much a part of modern culture, a game known and played by the hardcore and more laid back gamer alike. One analysthas predictedthat this game is even big enough to affect one of the biggest movie releases of the year,Iron Man....

If you bought the rather goodGuitar Heroappfor your iPhone, you might be a little dismayed at the less-than-abundant support that Activision’s put behind it. Well, feel free to be a little cheered by a new set of track packs that are now available for download. Coldplay, Weezer, Breaking Benjamin and Rise Against song packs are all available for $1.99 apiece. I must say that I’ve been rather disappointed by the lack of choices available in this game....

Afew scant detailshave surfaced regardingHalo 3: Recon, the expansion pack to 2007’s Xbox 360 blockbuster. Described as a “three-to-five hour expansion pack,” the most amazing news is that this small gameprobablywon’t cost sixty bucks! Bungie doesn’t seem to think that a short expansion pack is worth that much money. Of course, what Bungie thinks and what Microsoft wants to do are two separate entities entirely, so we’ll have to see on that count....

Capcom made it very clear that they are the company to watch this millennium. They even scorned the rest of the industry for not taking chances and simply relying on sequels to keep the money rolling in. It’s extremely ironic then, that the entire show was built out of Capcom sequels and spin-offs, includingMegamangames that don’t even have freaking Megaman in them. So while they certainly talked the talk, they don’t quite have the walking part down yet....

I hope your Videogame Tree is up and you’ve left out your NES controller for Father Gameness, because today is National Videogames Day! Proving that there is indeed a day for everything, from quitting smoking to wearing condoms, National Videogames Day is one oftwogame-based holidays, accompanying July 8th’s Videogames Day. This is just like that day, except the word National is at the beginning, and that makes it very different indeed …....

Those of you that read myimpressionslast week and weren’t scared off should be enjoying the insane cave exploration inSpelunker HD. There’s a multiplayer mode that I’m just now getting into, and some new information might make it a bit easier on me. Someone in the know tipped me off on a bit of a cheat for the multiplayer. Here’s how it works: When a member of your party dies, don’t revive him as you normally would....

Do you ever wonder where the ideas behind some of your favorite videogames come from? Of course you do, you’re reading this Web site, silly. After recently running across an old email chain that resulted in the birth ofDestroy All Humans!, Harmonix’s Dan Teasdale has graciously thrown the entire conversationup on his blogfor all to see. For anyone who enjoys bragging about their knowledge of completely useless yet interesting game-related facts to friends, you will want to check the post out....
